Hey there, friend. I’M CRYSTAL.
So you want to know more, eh?
You can often find me blasting 90’s hip-hop through the house and reenacting my night club days, scrolling Reels for way too long, and forever planning the next meal while repeating “but didn’t I just feed you yesterday?”
Let’s go back a bit, shall we?
I grew up until the age of 18 in tiny little towns in Nebraska. I was married and had my two perfect sons very, very young and moved to Florida where I found myself immersed in the world of property management. I started as a leasing agent and proudly worked my way up to the youngest property manager of our company. My ex-husband and I decided it was time to move back to the Midwest to raise our boys, so off to Iowa we went in 2001. Life moved along, I grew up, I went through a divorce, and I met my current husband and had our beautiful daughters. (And side note: my ex-husband and I stayed on great terms and between all 4 parents, we did a hella-good job raising our boys.) In between all of that, I was a mortgage broker, and picked up my camera and started my small photography business.
I was so blessed to be able to stay at home with them while photographing amazing people (shout-out to all my Whitley Kay Seniors!). I often miss that phase of life. Once the girls were both in school, I decided it was time to get back to work and really contribute financially to our household… Enter my Realtor phase. What a ride! I met more amazing people and was cruising right along in the business, but I had an itch to escape the harsh winters of Iowa. Seasonal moods were something I felt getting worse and worse as I aged, so we decided to start looking at heading South. And that’s where you find me today! A Texan! My girls adjusted fairly quick, and I took a bit longer, but I’m here and ready to share more of my life in the South.

You’re giving me the honor of capturing yours, it’s only fair that I share mine!
We were friends for over 8 years before we started dating!
